How are you today?

[angus]

poor.  dead tired.  

Went to a family fitness fest yesterday where they had free food and games and prizes, but the price was to run a 5K fun run.  I actually ran it.  Well, I stopped once for about 20 seconds but otherwise I ran the whole time.  Man, five thousand meters is a long way!  All these 20-something and 30-something guys kept passing me, but I thought, well, they're into running and they're young.  Then children passed me and I thought, well, they're young and excitable.  Then a white-haired woman passed me and I thought, man am I outta shape or what?  Actually, I finished somewhere in the middle.  34:21 was my time according to the big clock at the end.  Not bad I suppose for a middle-aged guy who never runs.  About halfway through a 13- or 14-year old girl with long muscular legs and very short shorts passed me and I decided to keep her about ten feet ahead of me for the remainder and enjoy the view.  She was my inspiration.  The perspiration was all mine.

Today my legs ache.
